The hospital has not given a timeline for Dozier's treatment, but patients injured in Iraq are commonly stabilized at Landstuhl, in southern Germany, for three to four days before being transferred to the U.S. for further treatment.

The CBS Web site reported that it was "expected that in the next couple of days Dozier will be stable and she will be transported to an appropriate medical facility in the United States."

Dozier had been traveling in a U.S. military convoy working on a story about Memorial Day in Iraq when a car bomb exploded.

CBS News reported on its Web site that the three journalists -- all embedded with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division -- had been in an armored Humvee.

But at the time of the blast they were outside on the street, accompanying troops who had stopped to inspect a checkpoint manned by the Iraqi Army. The site said they were wearing helmets, flak jackets and protective eyeglasses.
